Nearly 2,000 people died in the aftermath of that storm. The U.S. government and Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to Katrina was widely criticized, but Americans came together to offer housing, clothing, meals and monetary help to the affected. President George W. Bush even accepted a huge offer of aid from Mexico.</p> <p>The aid Mexico sent was no small thing — it was an extraordinary gesture, and it may have saved many lives. Marking the first time that Mexican troops had set foot on U.S. soil since the Mexican-American War in 1846, President Vicente Fox sent an army convoy and a naval vessel laden with food, water and medicine. By the end of their <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/when-mexicans-crossed-our-border-to-feed-our-hungry/2015/08/28/347342e4-4cee-11e5-84df-923b3ef1a64b_story.html?utm_term=.86843dde5502">three-week operation</a> in Louisiana and Mississippi, the Mexicans had served 170,000 meals, helped distribute more than 184,000 tons of supplies and conducted more than 500 medical consultations.</p> <p>“Mexico and the United States are nations which are neighbors and friends which should always have solidarity in moments of difficulty,” Fox <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/id/9231819/ns/us_news-katrina_the_long_road_back/t/nations-offer-aid-help-us-katrina/#.WaLvGj6GOvE">told </a>NBC News at the time.</p> <p>Fast forward to now, as deadly Hurricane Harvey pummels the greater Houston area. The United States now has a president who kicked off his election campaign with a speech that denigrated Mexicans. A president who has been vociferously <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/01/06/mexicans-make-it-clear-once-again-how-they-feel-about-paying-for-trumps-great-wall/?utm_term=.8a01b31eaace">assailed </a>by Fox. And, as his tweets on Sunday revealed, a president who will take time to bully and belittle Mexicans while a catastrophe unfolds in his own country.</p> <p>Here are Trump's tweets from Sunday morning, as Texas woke up to calamity.</p> <div class="inline-content inline-html"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL.

More than 30,000 people are expected to be housed in shelters indefinitely. FEMA's director said Harvey could be the worst storm in Texas's history.</p> <p>Late on Sunday, Mexico's foreign ministry issued a <a href="https://www.gob.mx/sre/prensa/comunicado-de-prensa-123180">statement </a>responding to Trump's tweets, as well as offering assistance, though without any specifics. The statement reiterates the Mexican government's long-held position that it will not pay for a border wall “under any circumstances,” and that drug trafficking and related crime are a “shared problem.”</p> <p>Then it moves on to Harvey. “The Mexican government takes this opportunity to express its full solidarity with the people and government of the United States for the damages caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and express that we have offered the US government help and cooperation to be provided by different Mexican government agencies to deal with the impacts of this natural disaster — as good neighbors should always do in difficult times.”</p> <p>The offer would put Trump in a bind. Should he accept the generosity, which, to some of his supporters, might ring of hypocrisy and weakness? Or should he deny it, while Texans cope with a nightmare?</p> <p>For now, the U.S. government is deferring that decision, essentially saying, “If we need you, we'll call.”</p> <p>In a statement emailed to The Washington Post late Sunday, a State Department spokesman said, “It is common during hurricanes and other significant weather events for the U.S. Government to be in close contact with our neighbors and partners in the region to share data and cooperate as needed and appropriate. If a need for assistance does arise, we will work with our partners, including Mexico, to determine the best way forward.”</p> <div class="inline-content inline-gallery-embedded"> <link href="//www.washingtonpost.com/pb/gr/c/ssiSingle/r0DtBpwKo8Tvoq/css/d9cb19704f.css?_=f2022" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="//www.washingtonpost.com/pb/gr/p/ssiSingle/r0DtBpwKo8Tvoq/style.css?_=512fa" rel="stylesheet"/> <script>window.pbDeferredSSISingle=window.pbDeferredSSISingle||new Array;</script> <div class="pb-container"> <div class="pb-feature-ssi-single pb-f-theme-normal pb-f-dehydrate-false pb-f-async-false pb-3 pb-feature pb-layout-item pb-f-gallery-gallery" data-chain-name="no-name" data-feature-id="gallery/gallery" data-feature-name="no-name" data-pb-feature-config="gallery/gallery" data-pb-fingerprint="0fh3taXsipu" id="fVVe782Ko8Tvoq"> <div class="wp-volt-gal unprocessed wp-volt-gal-p-end-circular wp-volt-gal-promo-stub wp-volt-gal-on-promo-slide wp-volt-gal-embed-promo wp-volt-gal-embed-promo-hide" data-blurb="The hurricane, which has weakened to a tropical storm, is the first Category 4 storm to hit the United States since Charley in 2004.
